Dont know mate. But if you campare the two bulbs (old and new) side by side, you should be able to see the locating bits, if they are there.

Got me a little worries now, cos i think ive bought the same kit as you!!! waitin for it arrive, should be next day or two. when it does, ill let u know if i have the same problem or not!

[aaronabbott]

the back (fitting plates)are exactly the same the old bulb just flies in,the only thing is the blub that came with the kit is a little longer than the standard one hopefully thats not the cause

Mine wer a bit tighter than normal, should fit in ok mate.

What HID bulb type did you buy and from whom ?

Don't force it and break your bulb/headlight !!!!

Its a different shape bulb but the fitting is exactly the same. It fits straight in but just wont twist to lock in. They were off eBay, a hong kong seller which said they were made to fit the lex

I would advize you to take your car to a MOT centre and get them set

I had mine fitted and thought they were great

But when it went for a MOT the allinment was out got them set and they were even better

how do they set them once there in i thought they were set already as the old bulbs are

[aaronabbott]

my new lights look fantastic and really do make a difference,but they do look slightly off on the road how do i adjust them without taking them to an mot place as when the old bulbs are in they dont need adjusting but these do

I'd get them done properly. I just stopped in my local Lexus dealer on my way home and they did them for me for free in a couple of minutes.
